A review by ecruikshank
Margaret the First by Danielle Dutton
4.0
Weird and whimsical little book. Gorgeous and lyrical writing. An intimate portrayal of a unique and often contradictory subject pushing hard against the expectations imposed on women in her time and grappling with the highs and lows of a creative life. I appreciated the short chapters and thought they suited the ranging and sometimes scattered nature of Margaret’s mind, but the pacing didn’t entirely work.
